Paint codes and decals

<< < (2/2)

Chris400F:
For the paint colour I have come across references to Toyota 8A1 which is generally considered as the best match.

I'm sure there is also decal positioning information on the web somewhere if you need that.

Clem2112:
One of the old BMC/British Leyland blue colours is a near perfect match.....
Got the two panels sprayed up by a bidy shop and they look identical to the original tank.
I will look for the code.

Laverda Dave:
Thank you all for the info. PM sent to Piki for a full set of decals and seat template.
The painter to his credit showed me so many swatches of the blue colour it became bewildering! I think we have found a colour that is marked as 'Honda' that is 99% matched to the patch we found on my old dented tank that came in primer with the project kit of parts  ::).
Great forum full of great and wise people, thank you all for your time and patience  :).

Got a favour to ask ... can you ask the painter if he will quote to paint me a single side panel in Varnish Blue at the same time as yours, please?  If he is up for it I can send both side panels, one of which, does not need painting and it  will give an indication of the correct shade. I already have the 'decal' for it.

Laverda Dave:
Hi Ash.
I have just called the painter. He can paint one side panel for you with you supplying the decal for between £60-70 depending on the condition of the panel. Send the other panel as suggested for the colour match.
The company is called Cycle Sprays, address is; Unit 5, Cranley Works, The Common,  Cranleigh,  GU6 8RZ.  Tel no; 01483 27528. The chap to speak to is Tony.
This is the first time I have used the company,  they are actually about 40 miles from me but I took my tank and panels down on Monday so was able to see the set up and it's OK. Tony has had good reviews and is really busy so hopefully a good sign. I have been quoted 6-8 weeks turnaround but my tank was pretty bad in terms of dents and knocks.
Good luck.
Dave
